No! I meant a tread where we can go back and edit our gig attendance throughout the year. I'm sure I forgot some. I know it feels like I'm always at the NJProgHouse and I'm sure I missed some gigs there somewhere.

I didn't bother listing the gigs I slept through either!

I don't bother sleeping through gigs I go to. If they're so bad that I don't want to sit and watch them (Hatfield and the North being a prime example), I'll get up and leave.

This isn't to say that H&tN was bad musically, but they all seemed so wrapped up in their own stuff that they completely forgot that we, the audience, the people who are paying to see them do a SHOW, even existed. If all I wanted to do was listen to music (which, in all fairness, wasn't BAD, but it wasn't all that technically heavy either), I'd stay at home and listen to their CD. They weren't bad, per se, but they certainly weren't all THAT good, and most assuradely not worth headlining over Tony Levin!

I'm not much of a Gig goer myself, primarily because of my back, but also because of the dearth of good prog gigs that even know that Atlanta exists. Making it to Nearfest was a Class I treat (mucho thanks, kudos, etc. to Vax and Mrs. Vax for their hospitality, etc) and I got to meet a lot of Moonies that I wouldn't have otherwise.

You could say this has been a tough year for me... Yet I was able to attend 3 shows by My 3 Favorite artists. I think the Quality made up for the lack of Quantity.

Rick Wakemans Piano Tour- A one man show in a sleepy woodsy town Hall. I sat 4 rows back from the undeniable Master. Lightning Fast renditions of Many of his Best!!

Keith Emerson Band- The Sat. Night before he Headlined Sundays Finale at Nearfest, He giged his set at ToadsPlace New Haven. Although the place has become bad, I stood 8 ft from my Hero for the entire show. What a View! This show was 9 days after Wakeman- -ahhhhhhhh

Asia,featuring John Wetton - a casino Show. I just loved the Boys. Each had feature time and Wettons Voice was SOOOO good. Book of Saturday Baby!!!
